It's a lot easier with a scroll saw with a metal cutting blade if you have one. I cut inside the rim, keep it tight against the rim and you get a clean cut. you won't be able to re-use the lid as a top.
so there is no way to reuse the lid no matter how you cut it?
My first UDS. I got the barell from a place that refinishes them,no liner.I welded a 1/8 by 3/4 inch band of steel around the top inside edge leaving 1/2 inch sticking up to fit the Weber lid. I welded the entire wheel assembly from a Weber to the bottom. I made a 2 inch id carburator style air intake,works well. The grill supports are 1 1/2 inch pieces of angle weled to the barell. Thanks for all the tips on this forum..Here's a link to some pictures...http://picasaweb.google.com/mikehanson0/Uds
Hey there again brothers in smoke, :-D
I am really enjoying all the info and tips on this thread.
Up to page 150 of the UDS epic and have another question.
WHere did a whole lot of the pictures go?
Lots of folks have said they have posted a pic and there is a little square that says the picture is no longer available. :sad:
What's up? :icon_smil Looks like this thread was started three years ago but there's a lot of pictures missing.
Not fussing, just wondering about all the great pics I'm missing out on.
Thanks
